retired and Missing the Job

I retired from the NYPD in January 2002 and I still miss the Job. I was a patrol cop for all my 20 years and Enjoyed almost everyday of it....we all had days we?d sooner forget . I moved to California and now work for Santa Rosa,in a non law enforcement position . Anybody else regret getting out?

Yep I miss the job, I did thirty years in a large UK Force and retired a year ago this Month, saw many changes some good and some bad. I look back and must admit I had some great times, now I often wonder why I took my payout and pension.

I would have been in my 31th. year on the job and only 52 years young, man do I miss it, with all the crap that the job came with, the ass hole bosses and my Bronx born mutts, yes I miss it very much, bring me back to sector David please!

I did thirty years, twenty as a Sergeant when I first started we walked a beat had to stand outside a phone box every hour(it was called a Point) and if you missed it nine times out of ten the Sgt would be there to sign your Pocket book and bingo you were in the mire. I got phizzed (disciplined ) for wearing black woollen gloves in mid winter instead of my Police issue ones which had kindly been borrowed and not returned from my locker. Oh those were the days !!!. When I started as a Sergeant nobody called you by your first name it was always Sgt, before I retired I had one Officer call me" DUDE" you can imagine the scene I knew then maybe times had changed a little to much for me
